How Beautiful You Are Tonight
In youth, every sorrow fades quickly away, Tears are soon dry — you are laughing again. Time will pass by, but forever this way, That’s how you’ll live in my memory then. Short is the joy that the heavens allow, Changeable hearts — they deceive and they stray. No, I was right not to trust in it now — Fairy tales fade, though they shine for a day. How beautiful you are tonight, No pain or anger in my heart. How beautiful you shine so bright, So pure, so lovely, set apart. Maybe for some, time can heal every scar, But I don’t need its mercy or grace. Come back to me — wherever you are, Each night I’ll dream of your face. How beautiful you are tonight, No pain or anger in my heart. How beautiful you shine so bright, So pure, so lovely, set apart. How beautiful you are tonight, No pain or anger in my heart. How beautiful you shine so bright, So pure, so lovely, set apart.

i never told you
Don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know about it Sometimes at home I feel so cold without it I never told you That I need you That I love you Someone can hurt you Like I used to Now I’m hurt too Don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know about it Lost in my thoughts Can’t seem to live without it I never told you That I need you That I love you Someone can hurt you Like I used to Now I’m hurt too I never told you
IDONTKNOW
Dark night decisions, Daytime visions. Last call dropped, Conversations stopped. Dark smoke rolls, Slipping through the holes. Nothing can unite us, Nothing will divide us.
sunset
Sunset So I can’t fix that Wish you’d never forget a single day Never forget every possible way Like me Never think to see How we faded so far into the light And lost our way through the endless night
my memories
Before the face of the Creator representing my mother's eyes knowing that my father has dissolved into infinity understanding that death is irreversible I remember you I remember your faces I remember your names I remember how your voices sounded I remember your smiles and laughter I remember the tears Filled with gratitude Opening new doors Climbing new steps upward I lock the old locks I turn off the old sound I cover the old windows I close the books I have read I throw away the keys Wiping away the tears of the night Finishing my prayer Drinking the last glass Smoking the last cigarette I take the next step I know we will never meet again I know you will forget my voice my name my smile my tears But I will remember But I will be grateful for my memories
